The Trillion Dollare Money Pump for the 1%

45. It's one thing to not like some of the terms of a deal...

...but it is a whole 'nother thing to claim the two sides negotiating the deal have "similar goals." You are just way off base on that and are simply parroting an MSM false equivalence talking point.

And, as I suspect you know, Reid said there will be no deficit-reduction "grand bargain," instead making clear that his priority in upcoming negotiations will be to get rid of sequestration.

Voting IS the end all. As I said up the thread, if we voted with the regularity of the baggers and had our candidates' back like the baggers do their candidates, our Dem office holders would get a spine and we'd get the progressive legislation we wanted. But no, unless it is a Presidential election year, Dems sit it out. Not so with the baggers. They have their candidates back and come out rain or shine. Vulnerable Dem candidates know this. They don't want to go the way of those two CO Dem state legislators that just got recalled by the baggers. So they try for the vote of folks in the middle and avoid pissing off the baggers. If they knew they had a reliable and sizable vote on the left, they would aggressively push for a progressive agenda.
